Quick bug-fix release with more Darwin hardening compatibility, some Barebone target polish, and an arm32 relocator fix contributed by @Lixhr:

agent: Enable Gum.Exceptor on hardened Darwin tasks. The old opt-out was from the Mach exception port days, while the POSIX-signal backend now works on arm64e thanks to recent Gum improvements.
darwin: Launder the embedded agent through anonymous pages before remapping it into the target. This avoids carrying code-signing state from frida-server’s own __DATA mapping on newer hardened kernels.
exceptor: Let exception handlers redirect PC and modify registers on arm64e by long-jumping through a trampoline, bypassing XNU’s sigreturn validation.
exceptor: Fix arm64e scope recovery by long-jumping directly from the signal handler instead of trying to redirect PC through the signal context.
darwin: Skip pid_for_task() when operating on the current task, saving a Mach roundtrip.
process-darwin: Strip PAC when reading dyld image metadata out-of-process on recent arm64e systems, and handle NULL reads gracefully.
process-darwin: Tolerate sysctlbyname("kern.version") failing in restricted XPC sandboxes.
arm32-relocator: Preserve the condition code when relocating B<cond>.
meson: Skip the inspector on barebone targets, where libsoup is not available.
vapi: Bind the gum_memory_allocate() family of APIs.
